About EITR:

Are you tired of the same old, same old? Looking for a job that's as stimulating as a double espresso, but as relaxed as a decaf latte? Look no further than EITR Technologies. We're a company that specializes in automating challenging DevSecOps systems and processes. In other words, we take the redundant, frustrating, and expensive parts of your job and replace them with stable, scalable, automated ones. It's like we're the Marie Kondo of IT - we love tidying up messes.
Our CEO, Nicholas Hughes, once said, "Everything is ultimately about people. We need to remember that. Information technology is for people – to enable them to do their jobs better, easier, faster." And we couldn't agree more. We're all about making life easier for our clients, whether that's through cloud automation, cybersecurity automation, or infrastructure as code. We're like the IT equivalent of a Swiss Army knife - versatile, reliable, and always ready to help.
But enough about us. Let's talk about you. You're looking for a company that values your skills, respects your time, and has a sense of humor. Well, you're in luck. At EITR, we treat our work colleagues like we treat our clients: with respect. We live by the Golden Rule, and everything we do is run through our filter of fairness, integrity, and inclusiveness. Plus, we offer some pretty sweet benefits.
We're talking premium medical benefits, 32 days of paid leave, 401(K) contributions, and 100% coverage of your vision and dental premiums. And did we mention the free hugs? Sometimes you just need to hug it out, and we're here for you. We promise it won't be weird. Of course, all participants opt-in only.
So, whether your drink of choice is Tang, Fresca, mountain spring water, or a wheat grass infused smoothie…we’d love to learn more about what fills your cup. Join us for a beer, or a career. We're hiring, and we can't wait to meet you.
